Rachel Mains is back in historic downtown Littleton for a visit to one of Colorado’s most unique tea experiences: IN-TEA. In this episode, Rachel sits down with owner Carole Bright-Alvarez to hear the story behind the shop, how Carole’s lifelong love of tea turned into a thriving community gathering place, and why loose-leaf tea is a totally different world than the typical tea bag.

You’ll also get a feel for what makes IN-TEA special—from expertly brewed pots (with the right temperature and steep time for every tea), to a menu designed to complement the tea, to creative tea cocktails, and even tea “tasting” classes that help guests explore flavors and find the perfect match. Plus, Carole shares how IN-TEA stays fresh with new blends, collaborations in downtown Littleton, and a welcoming atmosphere that brings generations together.
